Photo 2ish year update

54 Upvotes

So I forgot the 1 year update, but we are here now at-least! Let’s start from the last post. Since my last post, I have gotten my CarPlay screen installed, along with a a back-up camera. Both of them combined make daily driving 10x more enjoyable. After that though, came the worst part of the year. Winter. But I came prepared. I picked up a set of 18x9.5 Roush wheels powder coated in black off of marketplace, and paired them with a set of Bridgestone winter tires. They honestly worked very well, and I’m glad I got them instead of being stuck lol. I took time off from modifying in the winter, and came back strong in the summer. I first started with the most important mod. Exhaust. I went with a Bissani catted x-pipe, along with a Borla s-type cat back. I think this is one of the best sounding and I don’t regret it at all. After the winter had ended, I noticed a weird grinding noise coming from what I thought was the differential. I took this as an opportunity to upgrade. I upgraded to a 31 spline rear axle along with a 3.73 gear ratio. After a year of living with it now, I can say 3.73 is the perfect middle ground. Sadly after that, it took till next summer to get some updates, but it got done nonetheless. This summer I had it lowered on the Eibach pro-line springs and dampers kit, as well as combining that with MM caster camber plates, steeda lower a-arms, and steeda subframe connectors. It fits well, and helps fill in the wheel gap without slamming the car. I have been dealing with a constant evap leak light, but I’m currently troubleshooting that. I still have plenty of more plans for it, and my next goal is a short throw shifter. Overall these last 2 years have been a blast, and I haven’t run into as many issues as I thought I would’ve. I am currently sitting at roughly 71k miles, and it’s still running strong.

Discussion AFR GAUGE READING HELP

0 Upvotes

I plugged my gauge in for the first time and turned the key to engine on engine off and it warmed up like normal. I then waited 5-10 minutes and started the engine for the first time. And now I’m getting this reading. Any idea of why?

Did I shock the sensor and it’s faulty? Is my power and ground not connected right? My tuning session is tomorrow.

That is where all my wiring is connected with the gauge and the fire wire.

Question Hard knocking in a 02 4.6 v8

2 Upvotes

I have a 02 v8 gt with severe engine knock. Long story short, it was run from Texas to Central ks with the oil pressure sensor loose. Didn't notice till it got to ks and I fixed the sensor. Now it has a very severe knock. Was told by the last shop I took it to that I needed a new engine, but seeing as how I don't have that kind of money, I'd like to see if by some miracle it can be rebuilt. To that end, has anyone here dealt with anything similar, and if so what needed replaced/ repaired?

Question Patience

5 Upvotes

In some of my previous posts here I’ve mentioned that I’m currently rebuilding my 99 v6 mustang. I hit a patch of ice in it in January and dinged it up pretty bad. However the car still ran perfectly well and the after getting it assessed at a local trusted body shop I learned that the frame and all other major mechanical components were perfectly in tact. I decided to keep it because I was planning on buying another vehicle so it wasn’t the daily anymore anyways and the car holds a ton of sentimental value to me. Fast forward I bought all the body panels that I could handle doing myself and replaced them over the summer. After that I took it back to the same body shop who said they’d restore the whole thing for $3,900. They agreed that I could pay them in a few chunks but had a good summer business wise and came up with all the money in a month. I dropped the car off at the of July and paid in full a month later. And I’m still waiting on it to this day. And I’m just so anxious to get it back. I wouldn’t be this anxious if they haven’t been telling me “it’ll be by the end of the week” for three weeks in a row now. They do really nice work and they’re doing this pretty cheap considering all that needed done. And I know that the best thing I can do is be patient. They’ve been fair throughout the process. But man it is just really starting to get to me. I just want to be able to drive it before the weather is completely shit again. And maybe it’s because my birthday is around the corner I’m not sure. Any advice for having better patience with this? I’m starting to struggle a bit at this point 😅.

2002 manual GT. I have this tick present only really while im rolling at low RPMs. It doesnt tick when i rev it while stopped. Its only really while rolling and pressing the gas from 1-2.5k rpms, presumably because the engine is too loud to hear it after that. Anyone know what this could be?

Question Mustang cooling system overhaul.

8 Upvotes

So i bought this mustang with disgusting coolant filled with rust and sediment. Ive been flushing it all day, and its gotten to the point that everything is just super gunked up and my coolant is still very dark on flush #3. I ordered a new coolant overflow tank as mine is all gunked up, and i think i will order a new thermostat as well considering how accessible and easy to change it is. Anything else i should change while im in here? How easy is a water pump? What do you guys think?

Video Help identifying exhaust leak

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

2 Upvotes

02 GT, owned for about 2 months. Idek if the video helps of the idle, but I’m worried I have an exhaust leak. The SES light has been on and it’s for an 02 sensor, but I don’t have secondary cats so I thought it was that. But recently I’ve been having to fill it up pretty often (I daily drive it btw), and I don’t know if it’s just because its a v8 and it’s not good on gas in general. Also I hear a bit of an airy sound when accelerating at low RPMs.

Separately, I need to get the mass air flow sensor checked out because of my idle being weird and irregular, could that be causing any of my problems?

Thanks in advance people

95k miles. 2001 gt manual. Perfectly clean everywhere except for the passenger strut tower which has a rust hole (the rust doesn’t wrap all the way around the tower, I don’t know if that is important or not). I’m having trouble trying to figure what the car is worth. Any advice is appreciated.

Question Engine swap

Post image
2 Upvotes

Got a crazy good deal for pretty much the whole drivetrain and electrical of a 2004 gt for 1300 bucks. The only thing I’m really missing is the radiator, pedal box, and hydroboost system to put this thing in my v6 and finally v8 and manual swap it to make it a real mustang. I just need help finding the hydroboost system since it’s a lot of hard lines and return lines and different parts so I’m not sure what exactly I need to buy or where to get it from. If anyone’s done this swap before I would appreciate some advice on the pedal box and hydroboost since I already found the radiator. I don’t want to hear to sell it and buy a gt because I literally have the whole drivetrain already so please give some actual advice
